Hi, there!

I'm having the same issue. Also, it isn't working on Android 10.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Working fine here on a Pixel 1 with Android 10

@manuquentin I managed to work adding this permission on the Manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

Before that I was not able to make it work in Android 9 and 10

Hi, this issues is solved?

We've experienced the same issue on a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016).
It appears that backToForeground works as expected (when calling it in a AppState.addEventListener('change', ...) the app comes on foreground).

But Samsung have a fork of ConnectionService that prevents a lot of things... we've recently noticed that we can't trigger clicks in the Samsung ConnectionService UI with calls to adb shell input keyevent ... in our functional tests (calls that works on Pixel devices).
I think Samsung has forbidden applications to be reordered above ConnectionService UI ...

We've try to display a local notification, so the user will click on it and display the app, but Android displays it as a small icon...

We'll continue our work on #251 to work around this issue.

this can be solved if we use self managed connection service? if yes then I can help you for implement self managed connection service
